Immortal

Immortal sighed softly and shifted laying on her side to ease the pain in her leg. She wondered when the fight was going to be over and if anyone had won. Was Eternal still alive? Would she find her? Immortal suddenly let out a howl trying to call to Sasha for she needed to talk to her once friend.

Skeil, Bullet, & Mesa

Skeil entered after some time, carrying Mesa carefully in her powerful jaws. Half out of it, the falcon didn't put up any protest to the drool that began to coat her once sleek, shiny feathers. Oh, how she and her mother hated being carried by the canines!

The pit bull set Mesa down in a 'nest' of tattered clothes, "You need to rest, Mesa. That was a brave fight."

The falcon bobbed her head up, looking blankly at Skeil as shock robbed her words or, really, common sense. Giving the falcon a rather unneeded lick on the head, which tobbled Mesa over, Skeil headed towards Immortal. "Keep quite! You don't want human attention, do you?" Skeil growled sharply, her personality hampered a good deal by the deaths that her side took in the battle.

A while later, Bullet came padding into the den, looking tired and worn. His eyes flashed dully from Immortal before he planted himself next to Mesa. Head on paws, the tawny hybrid watched the enterance, waiting for Sasha to appear.

Immortal

She winced at Skeils sharp words then said softly "Sorry....Who won?" She knew it was going to be a tender subject for them all but she needed to know. If Eternal had died that meant that she was free to do as she wished. But if Eternal was still alive....Then she would remain a prisoner. She looked from one to the other and then to Mesa. SHe stood slowly on her three good legs and limped over gently sniffing the falcon. "Shouldnt someone take her to the lady?" Also at the ladys house was Pirqua, the falcon that Sequioa had dropped off awhile ago.

Sasha

The doberman moved silently through the alleys and she heard Immortals howl but she didnt feel like talking at the moment. She just wanted to be left alone. Darkly she snarled at Immortal and she began pacing up and down the small building her movements sharp and forced not like the usually graceful doberman. She was angry at herself for not killing Sekhmet or Satet. Whichever one she had had. She hadnt gotten anyone. That was what made the black and tan fae even more angry. All the others had gotten into a big fight and had something to be proud of. All she could say was that she had -attacked- another.

Skeil, Bullet, & Mesa

Skeil rumbled quietly, voiceing her displeasure at having to speak to Immortal, but she went on in a slightly more 'friendly' tone. "We won, naturally. There is still plenty of scum to clean up though."

Bullet raised his head quickly, his hackles raising higher with each step Immortal took towards him and Mesa. Dropping his head protectively near the falcon, he spoke, "She will be fine. The human can't give her a leg back anyway."

Mesa blinked slowly, then turned her two-toned head to look at Immortal, "I swear.... kill her... I'll kill her..." She wasn't talking about Immortal, but about the wolf that had bitten her leg off. The falcon was still dilerious from blood loss, but what remained of her leg had stopped bleeding a while ago, and now she needed rest.

Bullet gave Immortal a warning look, "Don't harm her." To worn to make a threat, the hybrid lifted himself up and sauntered towards Sasha, moving close to give her a lick on her muzzle. "Sasha, what's wrong?"

Sasha

"Fine BUllet Everythings perfectly fine." She paced back and forth still though and suddenly she leaped upon Immortal her fangs scoring the unsuspecting females flesh. "Shes alive! You want her alive you want her to save you but shes not going to Immortal and you know it! You know that your a prisoner here and you always will be a prisoner!" Her words were sharp and degrading and the female growled and began to pace once more. Stupid Eternal. How had she slipped through their grasp? How had she gotten away?Immortal had something to do with it. Somehow the female had warned her sister of them coming. Somehow.

Immortal

With a yelp the female leaped away from Sasha. What had come over her? She backed away from Sasha her leg hampering her but she did her best. She stared wide eyed at Sasha and watched the dobermans every move with her incessant pacing. "Sasha are you ok?" She said timidly. The doberman seemed stressed. Or psychotic whichever worked.

Satan, Vitani, Suki and Kuro

The four slowly made their way into the den, each growling softly or scowling. They may have won, but they had suffered many casualties.

Led by Satan, the four slipped through the entrance hole. The male approached Skeil and gave her a nod of the head in greeting.
Vitani, still quiet pleased with herself at managing to kill Vivek an Alpha in the fight, came second an seated herself near the edge of the room to nurse the wounds she had accumilated in battle.
Kuro and Suki each moved towards Bullet and Sasha. Suki looked on curiously at the pair as Sasha attacked Immortal (which personally Suki couldnt blame her for) but why was she so mad. Yes they were all mad at the loss of so many on their side but Sasha seemed even more aggitated at something.

Hydras, Bullet, Skeil, & Mesa

Bullet was taken aback by Sasha's attitude, and stepped aside as she assaulted Immortal. Once more, he approached the doberman, one ear cocked to the side in an uncertain posture, "Sasha, you can trust me; I can see something's bothering you. I can help."

Skeil returned the nod to Satan and watched as the others filed in.

A few minutes passed before Hydras entered the Den, for she had taken a detour while scouting for Demon. Unable to find him, she returned and padded slowly towards the group. Her wounds were beginning to catch up to her now, making her fatigued and tired; but being an alpha meant that one had to be strong. Sitting down before the group, Hydras strained against her worn body to make a brief speech to the pack.

"I couldn't be more pleased with you all and our success; we are the Shadow Lurkers, and you all stood up valiantly to your pack-name." Pausing to take a long breath and size up the group for injuries, Hydras went on, "The war is not over by any means, but for now, we've fought and we've shown who is the best. We've showed we are a force to be reckoned with, and we go down fighting till the end!" There was a great emphasis in the alpha's voice as she declared this, her eyes glistening with pride for her pack. A more solemn tone was adopted for the following words, again after a short pause, "As well as we had fought; and we couldn't have done a better job than we did; there were losses. Three of our own had fallen, and we will not forget them. Jet-Wing, Yersinia, and Kenyon. Never will we forget, and forever we will fight with them in mind." A forth and final pause was given before Hydras went on to the last part of her short speech, "Black Feather and Dally will help keep watch for danger tonight, as they have no injuries. The rest of us will sleep and recuperate our strength. We will heal, live, and fight another day."

Risen .+. Fallen

Risen walked into the den quietly, watching the group but staying far away from them. She didn't feel worthy to be in their presents for it was her fault they retreated... Or that was how she felt. V.estige had seriously injured her neck, and she felt she had done nothing to harm him by.

The gray minx snuck into a shaded corner. If one could smell through the pain of their own injuries, and the blood of everyone else. Her blood-clotted neck could be smelt. But still, she was well hidden from the group. Watching them from her distance.

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

Fallen walked into the room after her daughter, but never actually saw Risen. She approached the group but let her head and tail hang down. She had no real damage, she only attacked who was attacking her daughter. Quietly the female spoke up. " H-Hydras, I-I can keep watch tonight t-too, If you'd like." She paused, scared to death of the alpha, she felt no injuries made her look like she had done absolutly nothing. Bloody orbs stared to the ground, flicking up to the alpha's chest while she waited for an answer.

Satan, Vitani, Suki and Kuro

Satan offered a gentle woof, a nod of the head and a few wags of his tail to Hydras as she entered the den. However he was slightly concerned as to where Demon and the others had gotten to. Shrugging off the thought as he listened to Hydras' speech, he couldnt help but smile, then smirk. Indeed they had won and easily too. Even though some did still roam free, they would be dead before long, and the Shadow Lurkers name would be feared by all, more so than ever before.

Vitani came and sat by her father and Skeil as Hydras adressed them all and her tail gently swayed from side to side before she lay down, her head on her paws, but her eyes continously looked around.

Suki and Kuro thought it best to leave Sasha with Bullet and so made their way over to a corner after Hydras' speech and settled down to rest. Then Risen came in. Suki clambered to her feet, fatigue now showing, and edged her way over towards Risen.
Where'd you go?

Risen

The injured female growled softly to Suki to let her know where she was. She lowered her head as the female came, then raised it even with her shoulders. Her stare was blank as the Suki arrived. Risen was still beating herself up inside for losing. "Death would be a glory for me now, if my rival was not still standing." She was talking about Hidden Betrayal, not V.istage. She didn't clarify it verbally however, so one could think it -was V.istage.

Her mind did, however, switch to the thought of V.istage. " And that son of a bastard shall pay for what he did to me." She glanced up to Suki's head, then back to the side. " I'll kill him with my own fangs once i've recovered. My name is not spoken without respect. I will make sure it's spoken in fear by those who ally with him." She glared still coldy. Then was quiet for a while.

Suki

The femme listened to Risen speak. She growled lightly when Risen spoke of tearing the enemy limb from limb.
That worthless alpha does not deserve the blood he has taken from you for he didn't die. I will join you in your quest to kill him...and I'm sure Hydras wouldnt mind us all going and finishing those scum off...

Risen .+. Fallen

Gold coins flicked to the femme once again as she spoke of joining her to finish the foul. She nodded, however " I claim the finishing blow to the brute." She huffed. All of her pride had been shot down with the pain in her neck. The blood was still pretty heavily packed on the back of her neck. " And I cannot finish him now. I must wait until it is healed. Attacking now would be almost fatal."

She began to think of her brothers for help. They were very large animals, and could help. Though the thought of Crucified standing in front of Heaven to protect her, more than pissed her off.

Fallen turned around, hearing her daughters voice. Crimson globes cought site of the two females and she wanted to edge to them, but stayed in her place near the rest of the pack. One ear turned and listening to them speak. She would definitly help her daughter defeat the animal that tried to kill her. Even against her submisive instincts, she would turn on the brute for what he had done.

Hydras, Bullet, Skeil, Mesa, & Dally

As Fallen came forward, Hydras noted her condition and submissiveness. Although the lack of wounds said one thing to the alphess, the fact that the femme was at the battle and was showing her respect right now said something else. "That would be very helpful. Black Feather and Dally can't see so well in the dark; it would do well to have a pair of canine eyes out there as well. But be wary."

"INTRUDER!" The sharp cry came from outside, clearing the voice of a falcon. But by the cry had been called, the sound of paws falling on cement could already be heard from the enterance at the furthest end of the building. As Hydras spun around, she saw the shape of a collie slinking in. Despite her pain and fatigue, Hydras snarled and sprang forward.

In an instant, Bullet and Skeil scrambled after to confront the intruder.
